Throw it back in style with our Retro Michigan State Mr. Basketball T-Shirt, a cream-colored tee that captures old-school basketball energy with a modern fit and feel. The front features a custom-designed, vintage-inspired “Mr. Basketball” character in a rubber hose animation style — complete with clenched fists, marching shoes, and Spartan grit — making this shirt a bold and playful tribute to MSU hoops history.
Crafted on our premium super soft cotton-polyester blend t-shirt, this fan-favorite is incredibly soft with a slightly fitted silhouette that’s never boxy or stiff. Whether you're tailgating in East Lansing, repping the green and white from afar, or just adding some retro flair to your everyday lineup, this shirt brings maximum comfort and Michigan State pride to every wear. As proud MSU alumni, we designed this tee so fellow Spartans could show off their school spirit with a little vintage swagger.

Go Green!!
Fits great, not much else to say. Nudge doesn’t disappoint.
I can go either M or L with sweatshirts, quarter zips. I have gotten L in the past from Nudge and they fit pretty good, maybe a little long but fine for me. This was too long for me. It was an easy and fast return process and got a M and it’s perfect.
Perfect fit, not too heavy, not too light. Incredibly comfortable. Nudge printing never disappoints.
Everything I have bought from Nudge Printing has been fantastic. The shirts fit well and their designs are second to none.
I snatched this bad boy up as soon as I saw it appear on social media. And boy, this old school cool Michigan State Basketball ringer does not disappoint. HIGH quality t-shirt and perfect fit. Thanks, Nudge, for another home run!
Everything I get is high quality and delivered fast.
